Danish Design Brand Hay Is About to Be Everywhere

We have to wonder if one of the reasons Americans covet Scandinavian design so much is because it's not quite accessible. (Always want what you can't have, right?) Sure, there's Ikea. But when it comes to the smaller brands — like Ferm or Menu — you're only likely to find a very small selection in specialty or high-end shops.

Good news: Earlier this summer, Herman Miller acquired a large interest in Hay, with the goal of using their resources to expand Hay's products across the U.S. According to a press release, Hay's "goods will be available through Herman Miller's Design Within Reach channels." There will also be a shoppable site and four Hay retail locations opening across North America.

No word yet on where those stores will open — just keep your fingers crossed one will be near you!
